In this episode Sam and Ashley talk with Claira Young, an interdisciplinary bodyworker who helps individuals manage the complexity of chronic conditions and support the body's natural healing process following surgery. Claira shares about their own intense healthcare journey, from requiring life saving surgery after the rupture of a teratoma in their pleural cavity, having to relearn to breathe due to a paralyzed diaphragm, and reconnecting with their body after it all. Thank you for your wisdom, Claira! Enjoy the conversation!
